GHH no need to be jealous of BVB

We all know Liverpool was crazy back in like 900 BC.

Shouldn't that be 'BP?' 'Before Premiership', a time erased from the record books at OT.

So you're going with Dortmund huh man? Good choice for you I think as we discussed earlier. Should be fun with your Munich friend.

Best supporters section in the world. Hands Down. .....

You are NOT helping! Play nice, or I'ma tell people about your 'special' cookies!

Yeah my Dortmund scarf just arrived from Germany last night. Very nice scarf. I've just fallen in love with the supporters and players of BVB 09. I tried to like Bayern for the sake of my bud but I never had the same connection. Needless to say he's at war right now. When a pic of my new scarf showed up FB he flipped.

It was funny when we were getting ready the morning of the DCU game last Saturday. Everyone stayed with me the friday night before. We had to have Bayern and Dortmund on at the same time on Saturday morning. I had to miss the Man Utd game since we were on the road to DC by then for tailgating.

Sidenote: I can also enjoy YNWA now. I never hated the song but I had to change the lyrics a bit Now I can sing the right lyrics and feel good about it.

before renovations for Euro 2016, the Stade Velodrome was another crazy spot.

For those interested, there is a show on NBCsports Network called MLS 36. It follows one player from a team over a span of 36 hours that eventually lead up to the game. Tonight is Dwayne DeRosario's episode. Check it out.

Jesus, Wambach, how clutch can you be?

[RichmondRedskin88]

Buds of mine are pushing for me to have my DCU warm up/ jersey thing customized to "RRR" . Comes for the Rambunctious Rowdy Ram nickname I got at VCU but it doesn't seem really clever compared to the ones I see around the tailgates. Like the one guy with "Darkness", "Soup", of course "Socks",etc.

edit: I was kind of thinking like "Bloody Eagle" or something. If you don't know what that is look it up. I should warn you it's sick.

Ian Wright, Nothing to Something. Great video.

Well that was one heck of a fun watch in Berne to kick-off the Europa League campaign.

Lots of kids, showing the experienced pro's up with enthusiasm and a great attitude. ***** defending from both teams. One of the most comical oggies you'll ever see. Great goals. 8 of them in total. And 5 goals scored away from home in Europe. Full house as the name still carries massive weight wherever L'pool go. And thanks to the other game being drawn, 2 clear to start the group.

Great to be entertained. Real enjoyable watch. Well done the kids.

Nationally televised game for DCU tonight. Every point matters from here on out

[RichmondRedskin88]

Great win by DCU last night. Hell of a goal too.

In Allianz Arena. Talk about fan pwned.

I DVR'd the game yesterday so I could watch it when I got home from work. The HD feed was terrible, so I had to DVR the replay. I will watch that today when I get home from work. I almost got through the night without finding out the score (I forgot I have a Liverpool fansite on my facebook feed). I can't wait to see the 'other' kids play. I hope that Suso made an impact

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

Well, as you now know the result, Suso did great. When he adds goals to his game, he'll be a serious threat. Still a bit lightweight, but man is he gifted. I thought all the kids did well. Wisdom in particular playi/ng out of position of RB, capped off with a real good debut goal.

It was some of the senior pro's that let the side down. Carragher looked all over the place even against a poor side like Young Boys. Enrique was getting caught out all night, and his defending on the first goal was woeful. Downing was running down blind alleys, and Sahin looked short of pace and interest. Ironically Henderson had a real good game for once, and set both of Shelvey's goals up. The build-up to his first in particular was fantastic.

Hope the replay tapes well, as it's a real enjoyable game to watch. A lot of defensive mistakes, but all things considered with the age and inexperience of the side, a fine performance to come away with that scoreline away in Europe.

This Europa League campaign could be a fun ride.

Good win for LFC yesterday in Euros.... with 8 of 11 starters staying home for ManU. Sunday is going to be busy!

I'll have to wake up at 6am to get my run and work out in, start watching the LFC game at 8-ish, and then leave around 1030 for FedEx to watch the Redskins... my wife is going to be so pissed when I'm worthless to her on Sunday/Monday, lol.


EDIT: And finally DCU gets a road win.... it's been forever. Philidelphia isn't the best team in the world, but points are points at this stage in the season.

Hamid makes easy things seem difficult and will then blow your mind with a save....

LOL. I hear that man. I've been in the dog house on far more occasions than I care to remember with various woman playing second fiddle to games over the years. The trick is finding one that will indulge our sporting passions. (And then spending the rest of the time compromising with whatever she wants to make up for it. .).

Short funny related one. I have an Uncle that back in '76 for the UEFA Cup Final against Bruges, left the house in his slippers on the Monday evening having been sent by his wife for a loaf of bread from the corner shop, saw his mates getting on a coach to go to Belgium ..... and, well, long story short, the next time she saw him was 3 days later when he got home from Bruges late Thursday night, having been the match and minus the bread. Hence to say it took him a heck of a long time to get back in her good books,.

Typical L'pool story over the years. Happy days, lol.

The first episode was pretty good. I will definitely watch the second episode

That was boss. Gave an interesting insight into things you never see. And how can you not fail to be more and more impressed Brendan and his philosophy on the game and direction he wants to take the club in the traditional Liverpool manner every time he speaks? Also kinda' cool personally seeing areas you know well as players are driving around etc.

Fox soccer done good with that doco. Roll on next Friday. (Or Sunday for you guys.).
